**PythonTools** enable an Agent to write and run python code.

## Example

The following agent will write a python script that creates the fibonacci series, save it to a file, run it and return the result.

```python cookbook/tools/python_tools.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.python import PythonTools

agent = Agent(tools=[PythonTools()])
agent.print_response("Write a python script for fibonacci series and display the result till the 10th number")
```

| `save_to_file_and_run`            | This function saves Python code to a file called `file_name` and then runs it. If successful, returns the value of `variable_to_return` if provided otherwise returns a success message. If failed, returns an error message. Make sure the file_name ends with `.py` |
| `run_python_file_return_variable` | This function runs code in a Python file. If successful, returns the value of `variable_to_return` if provided otherwise returns a success message. If failed, returns an error message.                                                                              |
| `read_file`                       | Reads the contents of the file `file_name` and returns the contents if successful.                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `list_files`                      | Returns a list of files in the base directory                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| `run_python_code`                 | This function runs Python code in the current environment. If successful, returns the value of `variable_to_return` if provided otherwise returns a success message. If failed, returns an error message.                                                             |

You can use `include_tools` or `exclude_tools` to modify the list of tools the agent has access to. Learn more about [selecting tools](/concepts/tools/selecting-tools).
